(ABI) is preparing environ- mental documents for the BeltLine in the City of Atlanta, Fulton County, Georgia. A Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is being prepared in accordance with the Na- tional Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), as amended, and implemented by the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations (40 CFR parts 1500 – 1508, Purpose, Poli- cy and Mandate), the FTA regulations (23 CFR part 771, Environmental Impact and Re- lated Procedures), and the FTA Statewide Planning/Metropolitan Planning regulations (23 CFR part 450, Planning Assistance and Standards), as well as the requirements of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) (Public Law 109-59). The Tier 1 EIS will examine a proposal to provide a new transit and trails system that would form an approximate 22-mile loop within the City of Atlanta. Figure 1.1 shows the location of the BeltLine Corridor. The analysis will serve as a basis for establishing the right-of-way (ROW) needs and general alignment of the transit and trail project along the entire 22-mile corridor. The transit and trails elements relate to one another and require iterative and concurrent development, analysis and consideration up to the Tier 1 decisions on alignment, con- ceptual design and technology. Subsequent Tier 2 NEPA analyses will evaluate specific impacts and mitigation measures for the 22-mile corridor based on refined design ele- ments, station locations, vehicle types, storage facilities, etc. The Tier 2 NEPA analyses will be conducted under a separate action. Concurrent with the Tier 1 analysis, MARTA and ABI will prepare the Environmental Ef- fects Report (EER) for the Northeast Zone of the BeltLine in accordance with the Geor- gia Environmental Policy Act (GEPA). Figure 1-1 details the BeltLine Study Area and Zones. GEPA requires the assessment of any state-level action to determine whether the action may significantly adversely affect the quality of the environment. The GEPA EER will evaluate and define the transit and trail elements of the project within the Northeast Zone, and establish the ROW requirements for those elements. This document is the Public Involvement and Agency Coordination Plan (PIAC) to sup- port the development of the Tier 1 EIS and the GEPA EER for the BeltLine Project. The PIAC Plan identifies opportunities for public and agency interaction with federal, state and local agencies, focusing on opportunities for public and agency review and com- ment. Section 6002 of SAFETEA-LU mandates standards for developing the PIAC Plan for all projects for which an EIS is prepared under NEPA. It stipulates that the pub- lic and agencies have an opportunity to review and comment on the Plan. It is antic- ipated that public and agency comments may lead to refinement of the PIAC Plan. A key focus of the PIAC Plan is to facilitate public understanding and solicit public ideas and input on the BeltLine Project alternatives, as well as potential consequences of al- ternative actions relative to the transportation, social, environmental and economic con- text. The PIAC Plan describes the overall approach and possible public involvement BeltLine Corridor Environmental Study 1-1 June 2009 General Planning Consultant Services Public Involvement and Agency Coordination Plan Figure 1-1: BeltLine Study Area and Zones BeltLine Corridor Environmental Study 1-2 June 2009 General Planning Consultant Services Public Involvement and Agency Coordination Plan techniques that will be employed over the course of the Tier 1 EIS to provide the public with opportunities to review and comment on key project milestone decisions, and to provide MARTA and ABI with the benefit of public insights during project planning and development. 1.1 Transit Project History In 2005, MARTA completed the Inner Core Transit Feasibility Study, which concluded that a major investment in the inner core area of Atlanta is feasible, and can improve neighborhood connectivity, complement the existing MARTA rail system, capture new riders to the entire transit system, and support redevelopment plans in the area. In January 2007, MARTA completed the BeltLine Alternatives Analysis: Detailed Screen- ing Results and Selection of Locally Preferred Alternative (January 2007). The Alterna- tives Analysis examined a full range of transit alternatives including a Transportation System Management Alternative and ten Build Alternatives involving variations of align- ments, station locations, mode and equipment and operating plans. MARTA evaluated each alternative according to its potential performance in four categories: mobility and accessibility, land use and

  • Blueprint Midtown 3. ACTION PLAN Introduction
    Blueprint Midtown 3. ACTION PLAN Introduction This document identifies Midtown’s goals, implementation strategies and specific action items that will ensure a rich diversity of land uses, vibrant street-level activity, quality building design, multimodal transportation accessibility and mobility, and engaging public spaces. Blueprint Midtown 3.0 is the most recent evolution of Midtown Alliance’s community driven plan that builds on Midtown’s fundamental strengths and makes strategic improvements to move the District from great to exceptional. It identifies both high priority projects that will be advanced in the next 10 years, as well as longer-term projects and initiatives that may take decades to achieve but require exploration now. Since 1997, policies laid out in Blueprint Midtown have guided public and private investment to create a clean, safe, and vibrant urban environment. The original plan established a community vision for Midtown that largely remains the same: a livable, walkable district in the heart of Atlanta; a place where people, business and culture converge to create a live-work-play community with a distinctive personality and a premium quality of life. Blueprint Midtown 3.0 builds on recent successes, incorporates previously completed studies and corridor plans, draws inspiration from other places and refines site-specific recommendations to reflect the changes that have occurred in the community since the original unveiling of Blueprint Midtown. Extensive community input conducted in 2016 involving more than 6,000 Midtown employers, property owners, residents, workers, visitors, public-sector partners, and subject-matter experts validates the Blueprint Midtown vision for an authentic urban experience. The Action Plan lives with a family of Blueprint Midtown 3.0 documents which also includes: Overview: Moving Forward with Blueprint Midtown 3.0, Midtown Character Areas Concept Plans (coming soon), Appendices: Project Plans and 5-Year Work Plan (coming soon).

  • Piedmont Area Trans Study.Indd
    piedmont area transportation study final report Several portions of the corridor, such as near the northern and southern activity centers, do have more consistent and attractive streetscape environments. However, other portions existing of the corridor have not received improvements during recent years. This creates a disconnected corridor and provides unattractive and difficult conditions for individuals wishing to walk between the areas with nicer aesthetics and well-kept conditions streetscapes. This discontinuity between areas is even more noticeable to motorists who drive along the corridor. Zoning Structure Portions of the corridor lie within Special Public Interest (SPI) districts which provide an additional layer of zoning. These areas are located on the east side of Piedmont Road north of Peachtree Road as well as on both sides of Above: Recently completed Phase I Peachtree Road Piedmont Road in the Lindbergh Center Complete Streets streetsape area. These overlay districts allow for Right: Lindbergh Center as common goals pertaining to aesthetics, a model of good streetscape attractiveness to all user groups, and unity of appearance in these locations as development occurs. Several areas that are prime for redevelopment are currently not within overlay districts (along the west side of Piedmont Road south and north of Peachtree Road), making them vulnerable to development that does not support the common goals of the corridor. “ … We have worked with the City of Atlanta very closely throughout this process so that our recom- mendations can be put directly into the plan they create for the entire city. That gives Buckhead a fast start on making vital transportation improvements.” 22 23 piedmont piedmont area area transportation transportation study final report study final report 3.0 Existing Conditions The current state of Piedmont Road is the result of decades of substantial use without requisite investment in maintenance and improvement to the transit, pedestrian, bicycle, and roadway infrastructure along the corridor.
